Pay for returning teachers

    There was a post here a few weeks ago about returning teachers and pay scales. Would be interested to hear from those that have returned from places like the the UK. Are you entitled to pay portability? Is there a like for like? I have searched the wide Web but can't find anything. I did find a document a few years back which seemed to show some correlation between the UK and Irish pay scale, but no sign of it now. Maybe it was a dream.

    You can apply for incremental credit in respect of teaching experience and relevant non-teaching experience.

    You can apply for incremental credit but it has nothing to do with pay rates. So if you went to the UK as a newly qualified teacher and taught there for 3 years, and then you come back to Ireland and start a job here you would apply to the Dept/ETB for incremental credit for the three years experience, which if granted would then put you on point 4 on the pay scale instead of point 1.

    Monetary values have nothing to do with it as rates of pay would vary from country to country.
